Chips have been flying between players and it has been an hour since our last elimination. Russia's Yury Gulyy is currently the lowest of the remaining seven players in chips, but this can change very quickly.
There will also be a break in play in 15 minutes or when the next person is eliminated to redraw to two tables. We will update chip counts for the remaining players very soon afterwards the first of these events occur.

Action was fast and furious on table #3 as Belarus' Dzianis Kisel and Ukraine's Roman Pavliuk were able to quickly grab the chips of Russia's Sergei Illarionov. Although fortunately for Dziayis, he was able to grab more than his opponent.
Illarionov who began the day in second place, was just eliminated in eight place for €3,478. With today's cash, the Russian's career tournament earnings soars above $20,000 according to The Hendon Mob.
The next player eliminated will be awarded €4,294 and at this point we will be down to two tables or just half the field we began the day at.

Sometimes it just takes a few hands in OFC to go from hero to zero and vice versa.
To prove this point, Russia's Sergey Bagirov began the day as chip leader, but couldn't get much going the first two hours of play today. He was one of the day's early causalities as he was just eliminated from the feature table in ninth place for €2,761.
